I had to go back to Audrey's blog to see what you were talking about. I would never have associated the two quilts if you hadn't mentioned it. It's just a matter of hue in the borders and I think your version is dynamic and lovely.

That is so true that there is really nothing new under the sun. Love, love finding things that connect us to one another in our quilting--I think that's the way it's probably always been! I once took a pattern that I wanted to make and expanded the design, drew up a little thing of what I wanted it to look like. Didn't get it made but later saw the exact same thing over at my sisters! We had never discussed it but had the same idea for that original pattern! I really like the breathing room in your pinwheel quilt and those bright red strips are so joyful and sparky. What a perfect touch.

Don't you love that you and your sister think alike! I didn't see yours till mine was well underway but immediately noticed both are medallions with dark centers and white inner borders. That breathing space helps both our quilts so much.

Oh my word. I can't tell you how many times I come up with something then see someone with it in a show after that! I sure like what you've done. Such a simple block and with the right mix of colors and contrast looks so artistic.

You noticed, Janie. I chose hourglass for the center because four make one pinwheel. The little pinwheels did turn out well, didn't they. I had doubts halfway through. And I'm so glad to have some time to recharge.

Those outer pinwheels are about 4 inches. It's great to be home. Sad to be selling a family home though. You know about that with your recent move. How's that gone? Are you all done? Do you like your new house?
